How do I get these AV cables?

Question

How do I connect this thing if I can't get a picture, but the sound comes on. I have the regular red, yellow and white A/V cables. But I can only get the sound. I also have Satellite Cable, along with a DVD/VCR connected. I can't get the game system connected directly to the TV, but I can get it on the DVD/VCR, since that's connected to the TV with an R/F piece. The Video Selections are : Video 1, Video 2, and Component ( I tried them all). I know this is confusing, but for anyone who is into telecommunications, could you please help me with this. By the way, I'm trying to connect an XBox 360 and the switch is on "TV". I tried all different types of combinations, but I could only get the sound when I put the AV cables in the correct order in the Audio and Video Out sockets on the VCR. I know that I can get an RF piece for the game system, but I've been doing that with every game system I ever got, and I want to know how to do it with AV cables this time.

Answer 1

You are confusing Inputs and Outputs on the DVD/VCR combo.

You need to try to hook the game system up directly to the TV.

Do not go through the DVD/VCR combo. There are copy-protection issues that are probably messing you up.

Also - you expect the DVD/VCR combo to 'convert' things for you. It will not.

Answer 2

may want to hire an installer to put this together for you if your not saavy in this department. They'll make it nice and neat and easy to use. They will also include the cables you would need. As long as you stay away from monster, you'll make me happy though! I honestly suggest you look up a local A/V place - NOT BEST BUY OR TWEETER, but a smaller nice shop...look under home theater or audio/video.
